The £200,000 review, which is the second of 13 into the island's health service, focussed on acute medical admissions at Noble's Hospital and the care of people with long-term conditions in both the hospital and community setting.

The first phase, which took place last year, looked into accident and emergency, theatres and anaesthetics, and critical care.

Health Minister Howard Quayle said: "We have already begun work in several areas where the WMQRS has identified scope to enhance and develop our services.

"In addition we are moving swiftly to address any concerns that they raised".
